OS Roundtable: What do you think of Cheatgate MLB 2K12?

[videlsports]

They should not have the contest for 1 million dollers, when they could use that money for developing games. I'm happy for the people that got their lives changed, but 2k stopped producing baseball now.

No one needs the money more than me.

I totally agree. The contest was cool at first but considering the fact that 2K is probably done with baseball games, it's pretty silly they did these contests.

Maybe with the extra money they could have done better with cyberfaces, and allowed for full player editing at least.

Could have should have, from here on in this post and any others discussing 2K baseball's "potential" will all die a miserable and lonely cyberdeath I'm afraid. Time to bury this sorry corpse and move on.

I play baseball, and the first thing my coaches taught me wasn't to "exploit the rules". The first thing my coaches taught me was ho to hit the ball.

Are you guys f'n kidding me or you all are just all rich with no cares in the world already???

If all I have to do for a million dollars is switch a lineup IN A DAMN V-I-D-E-O G-A-M-E contest (might I add the rules don't say can't do this) then I'll do it EVERYTIME! I almost cant even believe this is a discussion amongst people who arent millionaires and have familes to take care.

"Spirit of an UNWRITTEN video game rule" vs. being awared $1,000,000 (if you just picked option one then ur the person Im laughing at as I write this)

WOW.

Nice, you sign up just to troll?

EDIT: Just noticed you got another thread closed after you were warned about calling people babies. Seems like I was correct.

Really? You considered my post on this contest matter trolling? Wow. You're super sensitive man.

Anyways, I feel like I just added perspective to the conversation by saying:
Not breaking an UNWRITTEN VIDEO GAME RULE vs. Being awarded $1,000,000 doesnt take one second of thought from me on which one I'm going with. And it shouldn't take any thought from any non multi-millionaire with a family to feed.
